You don’t have to give up your favorite chocolate cake!

Posted by

I don’t want to become a vegan and give up  a yummy hamburger or delicious chocolate cake.

A few years back, I was thinking about how I have lost the coziness in my life. It is coming back because I am learning to allow myself to enjoy the small things in my day.

I have been reading and highlighting Goddesses Never Age by Christiane Northrup. ( I love when I borrow friends books that are highlighted. I can see what they are interested in.)  I am sharing my highlights with you. This really struck me and is so important to share.

“You don’t have to swear off chocolate, rich foods, or alcohol completely to be a goddess of pleasure. In fact, studies of healthy centenarians show that these individuals enjoy things like alcohol, cigars and chocolates as rituals of pleasure.” Dr. Christiane Northrup

This can be done on a daily basis, if it is done mindfully. You sit down and have a small delicious organic cup of coffee with a piece of dark chocolate. You sit and enjoy. You are not in your car, multi tasking drinking a big gulp. Huge difference. You sit down and enjoy a glass of red wine in a beautiful wine glass. You are savoring  and enjoying not drinking because you are angry and had a stressful day.

This is where the coziness comes in as well. It feels very cozy to sit and enjoy a delicious treat. If you are going to have a treat buy the best you can buy. Don’t buy something cheap and processed.

Every evening, I enjoy a glass of red wine in my Grandmother’s crystal wine glass. My latest favorite is Live a Little organic Red. It has a pretty label and I like it:)

Live A Little!

Live A Little!

What are the simple pleasures in your day? Please share.  I would love to hear from you.

Try New Things…

Try new things, change in direction…

I have been reading Goddesses Never Age by Christiane Northrup MD. which of course I highly recommend.  This was the first of I am sure many lines that I highlighted. “The anti-aging prescription is to love life, try new things, and savor your experiences.”

Dr. Northrup's book

 

I also attempt to sit on my meditation cushion everyday for ten minutes.  (don’t always do it but I think about it.) After my ten minutes are up, I pick an Angel card. Last week, I picked the same card twice! This is from Doreen Virtue, PH.D,  Change in Direction ” The changes you are experiencing are Divinely directed by your newborn willingness to open your heart to love and our guidance. You are protected now and in the future, so follow your path to the happy outcomes you desire.”

So this is what I did. A little scary but I did it. Dan, my husband coached me through it. ” Come on Mare, you have big strong legs, kick them up there!” And so I did! It is always great to have a cheerleader.

Looking at a life in a different way:)

This is just about the last thing I thought I would be blogging about. I received my Cindy Joseph Boom Sticks and I just had to share. I love them!  So fun and more importantly so easy.

Beauty of course is an inside job, it is so important to eat well, take the best supplements on the planet , use a fabulous paraben- free skin care line have Fun and get a good night sleep. (I can create “AN AGELESS LIVING MY HEALTH PACK” for you that the Ageless Goddess Dr. Christiane Northrup mentioned on a call last night.)

It is also fun to play with a little make-up and the best part about Boom by Cindy Joseph it doesn’t seem like make-up.

“Celebrate your age, embrace your crow’s feet!”

I am excited about Aging Well. I love what I do! I love having my outdoor workouts, where the average age is 56. (I have 2 forty year olds that change the stats a bit.) You get the point. I love coaching people to eat well, empowering them to make changes to look and feel their best.  There is no turning back!

Fit and Fabulous…Aging Optional.

I spend time reading and watching videos about aging well. Instead of embracing aging sucks, it is all downhill from here, it’s over…blah,blah,blah. Why go there?

Why not focus on living the best life that you can? Look and feel fabulous at any age! Celebrate your age, embrace your crow’s feet! How many smiles did it take to create them?

My mentor Dr. Christiane Northrup is coming out with her new book. Goddesses Never Age. Dr. Northrup always  has amazing information about living a fabulous vibrant lifestyle. “Just because you’ve been taught by our culture to expect to be less vital, healthy, or active after  the age of 50, this doesn’t have to be your destiny!!! Your beliefs—and the behavior that stems from those beliefs—largely determine your experience of moving through time. On February 24, 2015, I share everything you need to know about getting older in my newest book, “Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being.” Find out how you can be an ageless goddess here: www.goddessesneverage.com.”

I came across on FACEBOOK, Cindy Joseph and her product line BOOM. Cindy has created the Pro-Age revolution. She didn’t call it anti-aging or ageless. She called it Pro-Age. It is such a change of attitude and I love it! I have been watching her videos. You know her she is the older model with long beautiful gray hair. (She now has a perky short hair cut.) She has created a makeup line called Boom.

I have never been much of a makeup person. I really don’t know how to deal with it. I am not even comfortable with a tube of lipstick. I do like tinted lip gloss that comes with a stick. It is so easy to put it on. I watched her video, you slap it on, rub it in and look amazing! She has three different Boom Sticks. Watch her video she can explain it better than me. I will let you know when they come. Cindy has many videos about her Pro- Age Revolution. She just makes you happy to be of a “certain age.”

 

This is the kind of information I want it my head about aging!  How about you?

My intention for 2015~

My intention  for 2105 is to empower as many people as possible to become Fat Burners! It takes 5 days to change from being a chubby sugar burner to a vibrant healthy fat burner. I use the 5 day Reset program to do this.  January has been a great month. I have many people on their fat burning journey.

I am very excited because my 2 sisters and my neice are starting Reset tomorrow. I created a special video for them to really jump start their program. It will work for you too!

You need to set aside 2 minutes in the morning to do this. You can do it in your pajamas if you want to. It will get your metabolism going for the next 24 hours and you will feel fabulous.

So here goes, do it with me!

Here are three steps to Happy, Healthy Joints!

  1. Reduce your sugar intake. Sugar causes inflammation in your joints. It is amazing how much better you can feel when you stop eating so much sugar.
  2. Eat more foods with Omega 3’s such as,salmon, flax seeds, walnuts, eggs with omega 3 and chia seeds.
  3. Repair cartilage with a Joint health supplement.

A great snack!

A great snack!

Bonus Round, Squats are excellent exercise, they strengthen  the muscles that support your knees.  Dr. Oz will show you how to do a great squat. Here is a short clip from the Dr. Oz show about joint health.

Usana Health Science is now a proud sponsor of the Dr. Oz show!

 

Love,

If interested in improving the health of your joints, you can purchase Procosa which is a wonderful joint health supplement with glucosamine and curcumin from my site or contact me for the best price.

A fat blasting strength program!

I am proud to say I have developed a high quality fitness program and it doesn’t take hours to get you fit! It takes 30 -45 minutes 2 to 3 days a week.

Here are the components

Warm-up: take a  5 – 10 minute walk or jog and perform a few functional movement exercises .

High Intensity Training : 8 minutes, 30 seconds on/ 30 seconds off. This morning we did BURPEES! Very effective and doable! You can jump rope, do mountain climbers, sprint, jumping jacks. etc. JUST GO HARD, ALL OUT FOR THOSE 30 SECONDS! You want to become breathless (anaerobic) , then you have 30 seconds to recover. Repeat 8 times.

Studies show that High Intensity training (I am happy to improve all of those points. How about you?)

  • Lowered  body fat
  • Improved muscle tone
  • Firmer skin and fewer wrinkles
  • Higher energy levels
  • Improved athletic speed and performance
  • Boosted sex drive

Strength Training: We usually do 3 sets of strength training in 30 second intervals, Push-ups, DB Rows, Lunges, Squats, Tricep Extension etc.

Core Training: This is the long and lean portion of my program. So effective! Your body has 29 core muscles located mostly in your back, abdomen, and pelvis. This group of muscles provides the foundation for movement throughout your body.  It is so important to keep these muscles strong to support your back and improve your balance. I love Foundation Training, created by Dr. Eric Goodman.  This training  strengthens and stretches your muscles…very time efficient!  Love it!

It is also so important to take the best supplements that you can. Take care of your self.

Holiday Nutrition Challenge starting soon. YOU CAN’T EXERCISE YOUR WAY OUT OF A BAD DIET!)

 

A quick effective intense workout! Love Burpees!

Last spring, I hurt my back actually my Sacroiliac joint. I didn’t do anything except overused the area. I had pain and kept pushing through. Can you relate to that? Of course, I started to think oh I am too old to be doing my workouts. A person my age shouldn’t be jumping around, doing burpees, sprinting…blah, blah, blah.

I went to the chiropractor had a month of physical therapy, took ibuprofen, a few muscle relaxants. I began to feel better but I still had lingering numbness around my left knee. Do I need to accept this numbness?

I started going to yoga again and kept up with my massages. I was better but still had the numbness around my knee.

I came across the work of Dr. Eric Goodman and Foundation training. I have been doing his workouts for a few weeks now and I feel so much better! I wake up feeling LONGER  AND LEANER! It is so empowering! Of course I have incorporated the training into my 7AM work outs.

I started my new class in September. It is now a 45 minute class. I love it! I have short intense effective workouts. This morning we jumped rope for 8 minutes, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. My ladies are great, jump with 2 feet fast with no pitter patter, very impressive. We did 2 rounds of weight training and then finished up with Foundation Training. Everyone goes home feeling LONGER ,LEANER and EMPOWERED!

I have also  strongly encouraged my ladies to take the best quality supplement like I do. You get amazing results, when you eat a low-glycemic diet, exercises and take your supplements! THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME FIT AND FABULOUS!!!
